Re: Can loaded rifles be legally carried in cars?
An NFA registered short barreled rifle can be carried loaded in your car with a LTCF, as it meets the definition of firearm covered by your LTCF. But you can't do it with a regular rifle, even with a LTCF, it has to be unloaded.

Re: Can loaded rifles be legally carried in cars?
No, a loaded rifle or shotgun cannot be carried in your vehicle unless you fall into one of the exceptions. Having a LTCF is NOT an exception.
Normal rifles and shotguns are NOT "firearms" when it comes to the LTCF.
Short barreled rifles and shotguns ARE "firearms" because they fall into the definition when it comes to the LTCF.

Re: Can loaded rifles be legally carried in cars?
Can you please provide me with a reference source because I was having this discussion today and I'm pretty sure that when I continue it tomorrow, they ain't just going to take my word for it. Thanks in advance.

"Firearm." Any pistol or revolver with a barrel length less than 15 inches, any shotgun with a barrel length less than 18 inches or any rifle with a barrel length less than 16 inches, or any pistol, revolver, rifle or shotgun with an overall length of less than 26 inches. The barrel length of a firearm shall be determined by measuring from the muzzle of the barrel to the face of the closed action, bolt or cylinder, whichever is applicable.

Re: Can loaded rifles be legally carried in cars?
Since it was cleared up to the OP that it's illegal, can we tackle...why it's illegal? Anyone know what the reasoning is behind it? Never heard that addressed before and it's a good question...
